Hillary Admitted Just NOW That She Watched Bernie's Segment... Town Hall SET UP!
So NOW the scene has been set and the shenanigans CONFIRMED by Hillary HERSELF!
Hillary was permitted to WATCH BERNIE during his segment providing her an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE in the Town Hall. Hillary then having listened to Bernie can then more effectively counter his points because she heard what her opponent said... So she comes out and CONFIRMS THAT SHE WATCHED BERNIE! I KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE CASE! Now Hillary fucked up and confirmed it by pointing to a girl who asked about her Mexican husband being deported to Mexico while her daughters grew up here without their father at home. Bernie goes first so that Hillary has the advantage... SHAME ON MSNBC for facilitating a one up for Hillary by having Bernie go first and in so doing allows Hillary to watch Bernie!

71. Do you know where that phrase came from?......
When Cromwell was planning to invade Ireland, he said he would take Ireland by Hook (Head) or Crook (Head). He took it by Hook Head.
Just a bit of trivia for the day. I learned this from a docent at Hook Head Lighthouse at in Ireland. The lighthouse it the oldest continually manned and functioning lighthouse in Europe. It has been around since the 5th century AD. |

117. Bernie has awesomeness
HRC not so much
Actually I think it matters not so much as Bernie answers questions where HRC skirts the question if it hits too hard. Soft balls she can handle but the fast ones not so much. Bernie can handle himself in any setting and by doing what m$nbc is doing they are showing those who aren't blind who has what. I didn't hear a boo at any answers from Bernie but I did from Hillary so that tells me a lot in itself. |

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1270000 REASON FOR ALERT This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. ALERTER'S COMMENTS The banner 'Bernie, He's not an Asshole' Next to a picture of Hillary. This accompanies way too many posters for bernie. This is absolutely disrespectful to a former first lady,senator,and secretary of state. DU should root through all these post and suspend these posters.They go far beyond inappropriate and dispicable behaivior. You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Feb 18, 2016, 11:10 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT. Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: Banner? What is all this blah blah about a banner? Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: Oh for fuck's sake, grow the fuck up. Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: ? - I don't see a banner - is this a drinking game alert? Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: I had to hunt down what this was in reference to you can't see it in the alert. I think that's just a coincidence in this case. I disagree with the banner saying bernie isn't an asshole. I can't hide this it's not hideworthy. Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: No explanation given Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: How does saying "Bernie, He's not an Asshole" mean Hillary is? You've got to be kidding. Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: I shall not stop voting on juries looking at GDP alerts. I shall not stop voting to LEAVE IT ALONE more than 90% of the time. This particular alert is just so much more petty crap. Too bad, Alerter. You lose. 👎 Mine was one of the more colorful responses. |

Unless they were deliberately trying to stack the deck against Bernie, which I don't quite want to believe. I assume/hope the coin toss thing was for real and Bernie was simply the one who ended up going first--but to let the second candidate watch the first? Who was stupid enough to approve that?

The rules of these sort of forums usually don't include anything about not watching the other candidate's performance. It's not Sanders wouldn't have been able to do the same thing had he not gone first. There really isn't much of an advantage to be had here.

17. I guess that this explains why this lady NEVER goes first in these debates!
Hmm... So much for that way to treat a lady!
When they started the debate, they said Bernie "won" the coin flip to start the debate. Hmm.. Did they have the same coins that they used in the Iowa caucuses? Was it his "choice" to go first, or was it just in actuality a coin flip that itself "determined" he go first? |

112. If she were as cool as she thinks she is, she wouldn't have to cheat all the time.
There is no sense of fairness in this woman. So what makes anyone think she would treat us at all fairly as President? She's always out to get whatever she can get away with. I think it's bordering on amoral.
She's completely incapable of just doing the right thing. Kinda reminds me of the bank execs and billionaire class, now that I think about it. |

121. EXCELLENT POINT! She ONLY Cares About Herself AND of Course, Her BENEFACTORS...
Wall Street et al! It IS... All About Hillary! I liked how she slid away from the Corporate Board of Wall Street question... A very, very slippery character indeed. Not someone that I want to be POTUS!

151. And if Bernie was kicking so much ass as ya'll say he is, you wouldn't have to make shit up.
Bernie won the toss. He chose to go first. Do you think she jedi mind tricked him into chosing to go first?
It was Bernie's choice. Fucking deal with it. |

114. I'm getting used to the format...and in the long run it serves Bernie well, I think...
Bernie explains his positions, answers questions in depth, and presents examples of what he proposes and how they will work for people...
to be followed by someone who spends a great deal of time and energy attacking what was said looks exactly like that...AN ATTACK...which diminishes HRC's presentation of her 'true' positions... it is just as obvious to the viewers as it is to the audience...she is a good speaker, debater, whatever...but spending time trying to diminish the other candidate versus developing your own case is not a winning formula.... wasn't in 2008 and won't be again.... |

122. It's a farce.
Right down to the stacked audience. The audience didn't represent America.

125. Where did she confirm this?
This is the only source of this information so before I share it, I want to know where it came from.

131. This was an issue with McCain in the past
at Saddleback: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/08/did_mccain_cheat_at_saddleback.html (lots of DU threads about it)
However, I don't know the agreed upon format for this event. |

134. John McCain did this at Saddleback Church with Obama and Obama supporters were furious
about it. Every cycle is the same cycle.

136. They flipped a
frickin' coin to see who would go first. Sheesh!
Bernie would have watched Hillary if he had not gone first in the questioning. I doubt that HRC supporters would be behaving like this if that had happened. Of course, the coin was in on the conspiracy. ![]() |

140. this is the most ridiculous
Hillary is an American citizen and has every right to hear what a candidate has to say to the people.
Whatever small advantage may accrue from being able to respond after thinking about it, instead of off the cuff, is negated by the advantage in framing the debate, and in having more viewers. Maybe they should switch up the order, but then you lose the excitement of not knowing. And now, I am curious too, if "win the flip" means choice or just "You go first." Mildly curious. |

142. flip of a coin
It was a flip of a coin. Bernie would have been an idiot if he went 2nd and didn't watch Clinton. Making a big deal out of nothing....

Also known as, "yeah, how did that work out for her?".

148. You know what? I still think he's better off going first...
it keeps him in prime time. People who aren't political junkies tune in to learn about him. Hillary comes on, it's getting late, they already "know" Hillary so are more likely to tune out.
All her dirty tricks in the world just end up backfiring on her anyway. So I'm willing to let it ride ![]() |

149. I am suspicious of the whole set up. Prepared questions? What was Reid doing there?
That crowd was definitely stacked in favor of Hillary. I'm smelling a rat.

152. Reid is the Senator from Nevada. It was a Nevada town hall. What the fuck do you mean why was
he there?
Jesus fucking christ this thread is full of more stupidity than a sane person can handle. |

153. Don't care.
Hillary isn't going to get more popular. She is tanking in national polls now right on schedule. She is going to start losing Super Delegates support soon.

but Rachel? Why was she even willing to be a part of this farce?
